How do you find the soul of yourself? You let it find you, but that doesn't mean you just sit around waiting for it. Author, performer, and Shamanic practitioner, Dale Allen-Rowse takes us on his journey from working with one of the Divas of music to uncovering his passion during the pandemic so that he could dial into the soul of his truth. About Dale Dale Allen-Rowse always knew he was a creator and a storyteller. However, it wasn’t until Celine Dion hired him as an original cast member for her show ‘A New Day’ that he understood his calling. During the almost year-long creation of Celine’s Las Vegas show, Dale’s vision for storytelling, narrative, and fantasy emerged. He worked for three years under the direction of Dion’s director, Franco Dragone, the creative genius behind many of the Cirque de Soleil shows. From that relationship, Dale discovered his storytelling voice. In 2005, Dale left Celine’s employment, ending an eighteen-year professional theatre performing career to pursue a new life in real estate. Within three years of becoming a real estate agent, Dale was awarded top honors for individual sales volume for RE/MAX and opened a brokerage firm. After a twenty-year career as an agent and real estate coach, Dale is adding new passions to his interests, including his spiritual life as a shamanic practitioner and student of core shamanism. With the publishing of the Journey of a Dark Shaman Trilogy, and the first four books in The Language in Light Series, Dale realizes a lifelong dream of becoming an author who seeks to challenge the status quo through modern-day fables that study and dissect energy work. Dale channels his books using a process called ‘Automatic Writing,’ which he discusses on his YouTube.com/DaleAllenRowse channel – as well as many of the topics covered in his books, such as personal evolution, spiritual energy work, core shamanism, manifesting, and evolving. Plus, his talks are set to a disco beat, and that’s not nothing. Connect With Dale Website Facebook Instagram Hey Guys, Check This Out! Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?
